Today's post went up a little later than usual, because typically, this is the only post I have scheduled each week. I usually work on Mondays, so I always schedule this one so I don't forget about it, but since I was off today, I decided to just write it and post it when I felt like it. :)

This is Sinful Colors 24/7 with Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Glitz Gal.

I have a strong love/hate relationship with the Sinful Colors polish in 24/7.

I am OBSESSED with the color. It's the perfect hot pink shade. It's really brighter than the picture shows.

That's the only thing I love about it.

Let's talk about my adventures with this polish this week.

It took 3 coats. 3 very streaky coats, that took forever to dry.

Three hours later, it chipped. A lot.

I touched them up. Let them dry, again, forever.

TWO hours later, chipped again.

I've tried this polish with Seche Vite Top Coat, Butter London Top Coat, Sally Hansen Top Coats, it doesn't make a difference.

I absolutely do NOT recommend this nail polish.

That being said, I'm on the hunt for a dupe, so if you have any suggestions, let me know.

It doesn't chip. But, as all glitter polishes are, it's IMPOSSIBLE to remove. It's very thick, and even with 2 layers of top coat, it's still gritty.

When you decide to remove it, soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover, place it on your entire finger nail, and wrap your nail in aluminum foil. Let it sit around 5 minutes, then press down on the cotton ball, apply quite a bit of pressure, and slide it down.

This should remove it.

Okay, so let me know of any hot pink polishes that you've tried, so that I can try them too!

Today I'm going to make a quick compare post. I've been trying to find a cheap dupe for Nars Turkish Delight. It's my all-time favorite gloss, but it is way too expensive.

So, here we go!

This is in artificial light!

The top is Nyx girl's Gloss in Sorbet.
Middle is Nars Turkish Delight
Bottom is Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss in Pink Whisper.

Natural Light.

The top is Nyx girl's Gloss in Sorbet.
Middle is Nars Turkish Delight
Bottom is Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss in Pink Whisper.

As you can tell, the Nyx gloss is much pinkier, and less milky than the other two. What you can't see is that it also has gold glitter in it. So, while it's a nice, light pink gloss, it's not a real dupe.

However, Turkish Delight and Pink Whisper are VERY similar. They are both a milky pink color. As you can see, Pink whisper is a tiny bit darker than Turkish Delight, but when you put it on, they look exactly the same. Pink whisper has a tiny bit of shimmer in it, while Turkish Delight has none, but still, very close.

The Revlon gloss is a tiny bit sticky, and is fairly sheer as most glosses are, and lasts around 2 hours unless eating or drinking.
The Nars gloss isn't sticky in the least, has a tiny bit more pigmentation, but also doesn't last more than 2 hours.

Nars Turkish Delight retails for $24.
Revlon Pink Whisper is $7.

If you're on a budget and love the way Turkish Delight looks but hate the price tag, try the Revlon one first!
I think this is a great dupe!

Also, I wanted to show you guys my nails. :)

The hot pink is Sinful Colors: 24/7
The purple is China Glaze: Spontaneous
The gold glitter is Butter London West End Wonderland
And I used the Butter London Hardwear Topcoat pictured.

I have another Butter London West End Wonderland for sale that has never even been opened, as well as an unopened Butter London Hardwear Top Coat.
To see those and everything else I have on sale, go to my blog sale.

This formula of the polish is fairly thick, but extremely easy to work with. It didn't streak in the least, and applied so smoothly and easily. The color is very opaque and two coats is definitely enough.

The brush is also nice, not too large, but not really small either.

You can purchase this for $8 on Zoya.com

I applied two coats of this polish and one coat of Seche Vite top coat. I had it on for two days before the first chip, and since I had a job interview this morning and didn't have time to completely redo my nails, I used China Glaze Crackle in Crushed Candy to camouflage it.

I know I'm way behind on this, but I recently purchased China Glaze Crackle polish in Crushed Candy.

It's a dull teal color. Judging from the bottle I thought it would be brighter, but it really is kind of dull.

But, it's perfectly fine, I love it anyway. :)

First, I put on two coats of Sinful Colors polish in the shade Snow Me White.

After I let that dry for about an hour, I put one coat of China Glaze Crackle polish in Crushed Candy over this.

I let this dry and do it's crackle-thing for 5 minutes, then put a coat of Seche Vite top coat over it.

I've had this on since Thursday, with no chipping or peeling, which is a common problem of mine!

The only issue I had with this polish is that it seems to be a weird consistency, which I kind of expected. That being said, it's extremely difficult to get an even coat, which drives me absolutely insane.

I have OCD, what can I say?

The best part about this polish? If it does chip, it's not going to be noticeable.

And, let's be honest, I put my fingernails through hell.

No polish can stand up to the torment I put it through.

Dishes, cooking, cleaning, taking care of a dog, two chinchillas, and a husband is way more than my nails can take.

Not to mention the time spent on my laptop typing away, and time wasted pinning more things to my pinterest boards! =P

The fact that I haven't broken one off in about a month is nothing short of a miracle.

Here's to hoping my next mani will last longer than two days, and that I won't break a nail tomorrow.

So, first, let me tell you a little bit about each item, in order from left to right!

My Glam Lip Gloss, called Glam Gloss

It's a full size lipgloss, 0.23 fl oz

Mine is a bright pink color, and smells like bubblegum.

The pigmentation is okay, the lip gloss is quite thick and sticky, which is common with lip glosses.

It comes with a flexible doe foot applicator. Its flexibility makes it much easier to apply.

Unfortunately, the colors don't actually have names! Mine is 01.

Let me know what you think of the one you received! I'm also curious to find out if we all received the same color or not.

Next is the Andrea's Choice Circus nail polish.

I was very surprised that we received another color of this, considering we also got one last month.

The color I received is Spectacle.

I like this one a lot more than the yellow color I received last month.

This is a very neon orange, and it's matte, so I used a top coat over it.

The formula is okay. It's pretty thick and quite sticky. It also gets very streaky if you aren't careful.

These nail polishes aren't available yet, but I do think you should give them a try when they are made available for purchase.

I'm posting pictures of this polish at the end of the post, along with a comparison.

Next is Salty Cosmetics eyeshadow in Glama-Zoid.

This is 0.035 oz, which is quite small.

This was made specifically for the glam bags, and this color is very unique.

It looks matte white in the jar, but when you use it, there is the prettiest violet sheen to it.

It's honestly beautiful, unfortunately my camera couldn't pick it up, so I couldn't post a swatch for you guys.

I really hope this will be available for purchase, because I'll probably want to purchase another one of these.

Okay, onto Demeter roll on perfume oil.

It's 0.29 fl oz, which is a relatively nice size. It's about the same height as a nail polish bottle.

I see this lasting me quite a while.

The scent I received is Clean Skin.

It smells pretty nice, and the scent lasted a few hours before it faded.

I'm really enjoying this, so I may look into purchasing it, and trying new scents.

Next is the Eclos anti-aging moisture therapy Regenerative Cream.

This is 0.25 oz. It is quite small, but considering you shouldn't need to use much of it, I could see it lasting for a week or two.

This is supposed to slow the signs of aging and reduce sagging of the skin.

I'll try it out, and let you know what I think in a couple of weeks. :)

Lastly, Eclos Cellular Activator Facial Serum.

0.5 fl oz.

This says it will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and give you a smoother complexion.

This will probably last a few weeks, maybe a month.

I like that they sent us skin care items from the same brand and collection, that are actually meant to be used together, and that the samples are of reasonable size.

I'm really excited to try this as well, and I'll let you know what I think in a future update.

Back to the nail polish.

I'm going to post some pictures of this polish, but I still feel that the pictures don't show how truly neon and bright this color is.

I also used China Glaze Orange You Hot on my thumb nail to show the drastic difference between the two.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Thanks so much for reading!
